LIN the ffst pace / was looking al
pictures in one or two albums think
all there had one drink each; know
had; there we're quart bottle Of cham
payne, part of bottle Of brandy, and
think one or two bottles Of beer; | was
not under the influence Of drink when
| came away; did not notice anything
unusual in the condition of Widemann
or Dowsett; do not remember any
hack near where was, think there we're
some slightly makai of that; did not
strike officer holding Muller.
Crossexamined--I should judge It
was about halfpast II when went to
Muller's; could not say how many
glasses Of champagne / had before
leaving Hotel, think | had more than
FIVE, but less than ten the whole eve
ming; going to Mr.. Muller's was not
part Of our plans for the evening,
Messrs. Hatch, Whiting, Wodehouse
and myself having arranged to play
whist; to drink FIVE glasses of cham
payne now would affect me, but sitting
down three hours at supper and drink
ing an equal quantity is a different
thing; do not know who went out Of
Muller's gate first, nor how many we're
there, probably eight or ten; do not
know who saw men on horseback first
or who spoke Of them first; might have
recognized who the men we're before
they spoke, but considered their pres
ence of no moment; Dowsett was on
the sidewalk in front Of the gate when
seized by Dias, l was close to Dowsett
on the upper side; think Widemann
was behind us, the others some behind
and others scattered round; when Rob
inson spoke as stated he was mauka
very close to us; the first Robinson
said was about getting Dowsett, and
the first Dias said was about fighting
Dowsett; never met Dias before to my
knowledge, nor did | know Robinson;
am positive Dias wanted to fight Dow
sett; have seen more fights start by
one man asking another to strike first
than any other way; ] never fight; do
not think Dowsett is more laxative
after drinking than the ordinary run OF
young men who are strong and healthy;
there we're about ten in our party and
eight or ten or twelve police at the
place; saw one policeman come and
think ! saw three or four como at one
time; did not see anyone hurt, nor
hear Of any one hurt at the time; do
mt remember hearing that night Of
Dias or Robinson getting hurt; did not
see the horses running away; do not
remember seeing Lokana, the last wit
ness, there; trouble lasted no more
than five or six minutes, as il seemed
to me; think | saw people running into
yard when Creighton and Muller we're
arrested; think it was Charlie Arnold
who asked Robinson not to use his
billy; first knew that the two men we're
police was when Dias took his coat of;
when D)wsett said that was the man
: who arrested the Attorney General /
had no means of knowing whether they
were regular police or not, as they did
not show their badges. Dias did not
want to fight me, nor to fight Wide
mann or anybody else but Dowsett as
far as | know; it looked to me as il
Dias wanted to fight Robinson's battle,
S Robinson being small man and Dias
:; pridng himself on his muscle; was not
a cautioned by police at the Hotel
against making noise. (To the Court
{ NNhan the t,arfv ,yera ooino IN The
u gate there was no hallooing, or waving
! u hats, or shouting; know Of Dias
] priding on his muscle from his conyer
Q sption this day; never saw him before
r Saturday to know him, except l might
have seen him years ago in the formel
& Mounted Police.
. At few minutes to FIVE the Court
Is adjourned till Saturday at o;3o.
